Pernot/Paul Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Clos de la Garenne 2019

92 points CellarTracker.com community score.

91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): “(from a .7 ha parcel that was purchased by Pernot’s great grandfather; it was replanted in 1957 and a portion of the vines are aligoté). Restrained aromas of spice, mineral reduction and poached pear are also trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out. The delicious, round and caressing flavors also possess a fleshy mouthfeel while delivering fine length on the citrus rind inflected finish. This isn’t quite as energetic and there is a touch of warmth though the balance does not seem to be materially affected. Drink: 2025+. (Jun 2021)”

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): “Always a little more power here – the clos shared with Magenta/Jadot. Planted in 56… Not a big nose but airy and with a certain fresh width. Deeper, hmm – this slowly opens, beautifully cushioned minerality a faint suggestion of barrel but sweetly delicious flavour. Long slow waves of finishing flavour – contemplative again. I would say very good, with some change for even better with 5-6 years in bottle… (Oct 2020)”
